What to Know About 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz S550 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S550 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine S550 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S550 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mercedes-Benz S550 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S550’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S550 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S550) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S550 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2017 S550. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550.

Routine upkeep for your Mercedes-Benz S550 suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz S550 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercedes-Benz S550's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mercedes-Benz S550 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mercedes-Benz S550’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mercedes-Benz S550? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 maintenance.
